Hand 1: You should bet the river. Sure, hands like 65 and A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] are possible, or maybe someone just made two pair with 87, but I don't see any reason to assume you're beat. Sometimes you'll bet and your opponents will both just fold, but then sometimes you'll get calls from hands like JT, A8, and A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Hand 2: CO probably has A3s or something, but he's pretty aggressive and the pot's not small, so I'd pay him off.

I bet this river with Aces. There isn't much reason to believe that a six held on. Plus, an aggressive player isn't being aggressive. That's suspect, pocket nines maybe? Anyway, I'm betting.

Second hand looks very standard. When guys come to life on river like that, its usually two pair. What sucks is that the only hand I can put him on is 33 or A3s. Three's most likely. Anyway, I call his raise there and definitely don't reraise.
